Ping for a later read.
I'm pretty sure they're on the Humans' side. ;^)
Evidently you missed that the writer was making an ALLUSION to what he learned from Bradbury's prose, just as he alluded to the talents of several other authors from whom he learned writing methods and skills.
There is a lyricism to “Dandelion Wine” that explains why that novel is one of my all time favorites. Simply wonderful.
Note to Mitt Romney:
Hire a writer who can produce speeches in Iambic Pentameter.
It works.

Orson Scott Card and Ray Bradbury are two of the greats.
And what a great tribute Card writes to Bradbury.
Beautiful.
Thanks so much for the ping. This is really a beautifully expressed tribute. Some of the heartfelt FReeper comments about Bradbury are also much appreciated.
From his book “Bradbury Speaks”.
I was crossing Disneyland one afternoon some years ago, and walking toward me the other way and I saw a small girl in a bright blue-and-white dress, with long golden hair. As she approached and stopped before me, I looked at her and said
“Alice in Wonderland?”
She looked at me and said:
“Ray Bradbury?”
